She added:

We understand that the outbreak of Covid-19 and the lockdown measures raises the risk of harm to victims of gender-based violence.

We continue to work closely with victim support organisations and justice partners to understand the impact Covid-19 is having on those most at risk, including where additional support may be required, in order to help keep all of Scotland’s communities safe.
